Carol E. Bueno O'Donnell grew up Cali, Colombia. She's a retired college professor with a degree in education. Her debut novella, My Father The Priest, is inspired by many conversations she had - particularly her father's - and her own experiences growing up in Colombia. Today Carol lives in Detroit, Michigan, where she enjoys storytelling, painting, gardening and teaching art. Her genre of choice is historical fiction, and bases her work on research, facts, and her deep imagination.
